The Best Way to Reheat Turkey

Use the Gravy: Don't be shy with the gravy, cranberry sauce, or even a drizzle of broth when reheating or incorporating your turkey into new dishes. Moisture is key to combating dryness.

Slice It Up: Before reheating, slice your turkey instead of leaving it in large chunks. This helps it warm up more evenly and prevents overcooking.

Low and Slow Reheating: Whether you're using the oven, stovetop, or microwave, opt for lower temperatures and shorter bursts of heat. This helps retain moisture and prevents the turkey from becoming tough.

Kitchen Tool Spotlight

When serving leftover turkey, make sure it's reheated to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

This is crucial to prevent foodborne illness. Using a food thermometer is the best way to ensure your turkey is heated thoroughly.
